HTML/CSS Alt parameter in html viewed in firefox

AI Thread Summary
The "alt" parameter in HTML provides information when hovering over images or links, but Firefox limits the display length of this information compared to Internet Explorer. Users are seeking ways to modify Firefox to show the full content of the "alt" attribute. While direct support for this modification seems limited, resources such as forums and articles may offer potential solutions. One user successfully resolved the issue using a tool called Popup ALT. The discussion highlights the differences in browser handling of the "alt" parameter and potential workarounds.

"Alt" parameter in html viewed in firefox

In html coding there is the "alt" parameter which displays information when the cursor is focussed on a image, hyperlink, etc. Here on physicsforums if you hover over the link for a thread in a forum you would see the contents of the post without clicking the link. In IE you are able to do this but in Firefox there is a limit to the length of the box that shows up. Is there anyway to modify firefox so that you can see everything no matter how long the data for alt="" is?
